How can that possibly work? Just because my flashlight beam stopped at a wall instead of going on into space it didn't suddenly become a stronger beam!

This is fun.
This is fun.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
